The Bitter Bitten.

Recently young physician of
the Harvard Medical School CON
ceived the idea of playing a joke on
Miss Annie Copeland one Of the la
dy students of the college of physi-
clans and surgeons, and at the
same time rubbing out an old score
he had laid up against her. His
plans were carefully mapped out,
and everything being in readiness,
the lady was called upon to attend
case # fracture OF the leg Some
what astonished, size promptly an
swered the summons of suffering HUI
mainly, confident in her ability to
sustain the dignity OF the profess
sion she had adopted. Ga arriv-
gg n. the residence indicated, she
was surprised to find her patient to
be man about forty years old, ap
parently suffering the most excru-
ciating pains. Moving the cover
ing, she disco cred the fracture to
be that Of wooden leg. Nothing
daunted, and without showing any
evidence OF her discovery, she qui-
city replaced the covering, said she
must go for some spllnts and ban
dages, and would return immediate
ly. She did SO. bringing with her
some small pieces Of brass and
hraas, with which she at once pro-
ceeded to repair the fractured limb.
The surgical operation was per
formed in remarkably short spsce
of time, and the injury left to the
beaiing process OF nature. She
quietly gave the necessary direc-
tons, informed the man that be
probably would be all right in a
day or two, and that her bill was
twenty-five dollars. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say that the fee was
not forthcoming, the matter being
treated as a good joke. Next morn
ing, however, Miss Copeland APP
peared son the scence with a con-
able, and much to the chagin of
the son of Esculapius. collected her
fee. 1t would seem that if the
young graduates of Harvard Med
zeal SCHOOL wish to get aheadssof the
lady students of the college Of ply
sicians and surgeons they will have
70 rise very ea:ly, and use more
brass than Miss Copeland did in
reducing the fracture of the wood.

Ed. Herald.
For the information of some voters :,

any more right to carry around breath
full OF the fumes of whisky than he has

EDIToR's REMARKS: No man in our
opinion has a moral, right to drink in
toxica ting liquors, and for a public Of
fcer it is doubly wrong. 1t has been
shown that alcohol causes poverty, in
sanity, and murder. Competent author
ity has stated that four ffths of all the
horrible murders, riots, wife-beating
and other crimes, are either directly or
indirectly tracable to the drinking Of
Intoxicating liquors. A public officer
who drinks is not only unit to fill the
place, but he is setting 8 perpIciOus eX-
ample to the youths of the whole coun-
ty. There is no party bossism, Mr..
Tracy, that can intimidate the HERALD
on the temperance issue, and make US
dodge a straight answer to the question
you ask and have q right 20 ask. There
is more than party politics in the tenn
perance question. 1t is moral ques-
ton. No man should be elected to an

Last week the Long Island Inter

Nipps, republican candidates for coun-
ty Offices. The cuts are calculated to
create a laugh at the expense of the
candidates, but that is all. They wIll
make no votes against those gentlemen
as there is no argument in a half dozen
old patent medicine cuts. Two weeks
ago the Inter Ocean charged that the
Republican candidates in exposing
Montgomery by causing his letters to
be published, were guilty Of a dark
dlabolical conspiracy 10 ruin him. Last

money from the republican candidates.

a meeting OF republicans, laid the mat

10 have the matter published. No
